That is actually surprisingly cheap. Care if I ask what types of services one would get at those rates?
You're absolutely right though, for a company like OP's, if they are so short on cash, it makes a lot of sense to get someone in even if just for the week to address these types of fundamental problems.
For a monthly service, you generally receive an initial:
- System architecture review
- Backup strategy / DR review
- Security scan, and detailed review
- System monitoring design, and implementation
and on-going:
- 24x7 monitoring, and response to outages
- Server patch management
- Ad-hoc system admin time available to be used on-demand
Many more details, and capabilities, but you get the idea ;)
